It was during last year's Tudum: A Global Fan Event in Brazil when series star Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he & the team would be back (you're welcome) for a second season of Netflix & series creator Nick Santora's (Reacher, Prison Break) comedy-action series FUBAR. Flash ahead to this week, with Schwarzenegger revealing that he's currently recovering from having had a pacemaker put in – with the actor having undergone a number of open-heart surgeries in the past. "I had surgery for a pacemaker and became a little bit more of a machine," the actor shared during a recent episode of the Arnold's Pump Club podcast. Now, Schwarzenegger is addressing those wondering if the procedure will delay the filming of the second season. "Thank you! I've gotten so many kind messages from all over the world, but a lot of people have asked if my pacemaker will cause any problems with FUBAR Season 2. Absolutely not. I will be ready to film in April, and you can only see it if you're really looking for it," the actor shared, including an image of himself with a joke "pacemaker" to put everyone's minds at ease.
"Season 2 is bananas. We're coming up with some real fun surprises for FUBAR fans in Season 2, for sure," Santora shared with the streaming service during an interview from last May. In the second season, The Brunner family will face "a million things they're going to have to deal with" – including analyst Tina (Aparna Brielle) secretly working undercover. "In Season 2, we're going to go in knowing there might be a rat in the kitchen. And what are they going to do about that?" Did we mention that a whole lot of agents – including Schwarzenegger's Luke Brunner and Monica Barbaro's Emma (Monica Barbaro) have now been exposed? "They're in deep dog doo-doo, for sure. They're in trouble," Santora added.
A CIA Operative on the verge of retirement (Schwarzenegger) discovers a family secret.
